In 2019, nearly all manufacturing companies in China wanted to implement advanced robotics in their operations within the following three years. German companies showed similar enthusiasm when ** percent of them expressed the same intent. In Japan, however, only ** percent of manufacturing companies were planning to use advanced robots between 2019 and 2021, even though the Japanese industry has one of the highest robot density in the world.
